Bill > HR6741

This bill, titled the "Payer State Transparency Act of 2025," mandates the calculation and reporting of federal tax burdens and federal spending (outlays) on a state-by-state basis. The Secretary of Commerce will determine the federal tax burden by attributing taxes paid by individuals to their state of residence and taxes paid by businesses to the states where their economic activity occurs, proportionally. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in conjunction with other agencies, will calculate the total federal outlays received by each state, treating federal contract awards as outlays distributed proportionally to the states where contract performance takes place. Finally, the Secretary of Commerce and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget will jointly submit a report on these calculations to Congress and publish it online annually, providing a clearer picture of how federal finances impact each state.
